Great family law attorney

Attorney Nusser helped me with a complicated divorce/child custody case plagued with jurisdiction issues, a narcissistic husband and domestic violence issues. He represented me with the utmost integrity and kept me informed through the whole process. He answered my questions and “held my hand” throug...h my prep and hearing. His paralegal Meredith is also fantastic as well. I highly recommend his firm for your family law needs.

Excellent Service and Attorney

I had a very difficult divorce and could not have found a a better attorney for advice and support. Tim was very patient and calm during an extremely stressful time. Tim and his staff were always responsive and kind. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a team on their side that you can trust... to have your best interests in mind, and gives you honest feedback and closure in an already difficult situation.

Would Not Recommend

Retaining Mr. Nusser as my divorce attorney is a decision I regret. Mr. Nusser verbally explained the divorce process including a $3,000 "minimum fee" & an additional $1,500 cost deposit. I was lead to believe the $3,000 would cover an uncontested divorce & the $1,500 would be used to cover any exp...enses over the $3,000 if we had to go to court. I cancelled my divorce. I was expecting a full refund of the $1,500 & believed the filing fees were to be deducted from the $3,000 "minimum fee". Instead I was only refunded the $1,500 LESS fees of $427. Mr. Nusser is maintaining keeping the $3,000 & deducting expenses from the $1,500 is what the contract allowed him to do. I believed the costs incurred were going to be deducted from the $3,000 "minimum fee". I feel Mr. Nusser misrepresented this to me & owes me the total refund of $1,500. Mr. Nusser has refused to settle this issue in a manner satisfactory to me. I would not recommend his services to anyone in the future.

No attorney wishes to have a disagreement over fees with a client. There is no reason that a client of mine should ever need to rely upon their memory of a verbal explanation as this former client complains because all of my clients execute and receive a written fee agreement that uses plain language. Furthermore, the amount of the minimum fee and cost deposit is in bold print.
